However, she just realized how hurtful those words were when he said them!

However, Lina only grabbed him harder. “Hadwin, I… I have so much to tell you. Please, just give me a moment.

Just a moment.”

“But I have nothing to say to you,” said Hadwin Stephenson as he withdrew his hand from Lina’s fingers. Then, he headed straight for the car waiting there.

Seeing Hadwin Stephenson open the door and about to get in, Lina instantly shouted, “Hadwin Stephenson, I love you!”

As soon as she said that, not only Hadwin Stephenson’s men but also passersby looked over curiously.

However, what disappointed Lina was that Hadwin Stephenson still got in the car and closed the door without a word. He did not even look back.

Suddenly, many sympathetic eyes fell on Lina. Of course, some were laughing at her. There was even a senior executive shouting at the security guards a few steps away, “What are you doing? Do you allow just anyone to get close to President Stephenson?”

The security guards hurriedly responded and stepped forward to pull Lina away.

Lina staggered as she was pulled aside, but she kept staring at the car.. until the car disappeared from her sight.

The security guard beside her was telling her something, but she was not in the mood to listen. The way Hadwin Stephenson looked at her and what he said to her kept recurring to her.

‘I… already prepared myself for this, didn’t I?’ She had mentally prepared herself countless times, but it still hurt when she had to face it in real life!

Lina told herself, ‘It’s okay! Hadwin suffered so much more than me. What I’m experiencing might not even be a tenth of what he suffered in the past.

‘Now that I’ve come to J City and am in the same city as him, I must fight for this relationship again. He just needs to… still love me a little. Even just a little is enough!’

In the car, Hadwin Stephenson had seemingly closed his eyes in exhaustion, concealing the mixed look in his eyes.

‘She’s here! She has come to J City!

‘She even shouted that she loves me just now!

‘If she really loves me, she wouldn’t have been so determined in drawing the line with me back then, right?

‘Why does she always sway my heart?’

It was just like when he was on his way to an important meeting the other day when his secretary suddenly told him about the explosion in Emerald City. Reporters who had learned about the explosion were already waiting downstairs at the company.

It was just because Katherine Jackson was his ex-fiancée.

However, he did not even think about Katherine Jackson at that time. All he could think about was her safety.

He even ditched the meeting and drove straight to Emerald City, where he got to the hospital she was in. He was in the car in the hospital parking lot all night. When he was sure she was safe, he let out a long sigh of relief and realized what a complete idiot he was being!

‘If I’m not going to have anything to do with her, why did I drive there?

‘I don’t have to care whether this woman lives or dies, right?

‘I should stop thinking of that woman. Even though she stood in front of me and said she loves me, she has disappointed 1. I was utterly disappointed the moment she said she had no regrets!’

Hadwin Stephenson did not expect to see Lina, who was being stopped by his security guards, when he drove back to the Stephenson family’s residence in the evening.

He did not expect her to come here.

Lina had also seen Hadwin Stephenson’s car and wanted to stop it but the security guards held her back, preventing her from getting close.

Another security guard rushed to Hadwin Stephenson’s car. After the window was rolled down, he said, “Mr.

Stephenson, this lady said she’s your friend and wants to see you.”

“I have no such friend. Make her leave!” As soon as Hadwin Stephenson said this, the car window rolled back up.

Hadwin Stephenson’s car drove into the Stephenson. family’s residence, and the security guard said to Lina, “Mr.

Stephenson said he doesn’t know you. I think you should just go home and stop daydreaming!”

The security guard seemed to think of Lina as the kind of woman who wanted to approach Hadwin Stephenson to join a wealthy family.

Lina seemed embarrassed, but she did not back down. Instead, she took out a foldable stool she had with her, then a bottle of water and an insulated lunchbox from her bag. The food was prepared by Mrs. Sweeney.

Lina found a corner and began to eat.

The security guard frowned and wanted to drive her away, but she was not within the perimeters of the residence.

In other words, she was on a public road. They had no right to do anything to her.

After Lina finished eating, she carefully put the things away and threw the garbage in the nearby trash can. No one could find any fault with her.

It was also the first time the security guard had seen anyone take their dinner at a place like this. Looking at Lina, he advised her and said, “Don’t wait here. Mr. Stephenson won’t look at you even if you wait till dawn. If you can easily see Mr. Stephenson by waiting here, a group of people will soon be waiting here with their stools as well.”

After hearing that, Lina replied rather seriously, “I’ll leave. I’ll leave at nine.”

‘Huh?’ The security guards froze again. They thought she would wait here forever and put on some sorrowful show since she had even brought a stool with her, but she was unexpectedly leaving at nine.

“You’re leaving at nine?”

“Yeah, I’m going home to sleep. Going to bed late is bad for my health,” said Lina. After all, she had to take care of the baby in her belly, so she tried to eat and sleep well just so the baby could grow better.

However, what Lina did not know was that Hadwin.

Stephenson was in the Stephenson family’s residence’s security room. He was watching her through the surveillance video with an expressionless face and dark eyes.

Time ticked by, and Hadwin Stephenson had been sitting on the chair, staring at Lina through the surveillance video.
